About

I work with candidates targeting MBB and the other top strategy firms, across case interviews, fit interviews, CV, and cover letters. Undergraduates and MBA students going through a recruiting cycle, and experienced hires making the jump from industry. Most prep fails the same way. Candidates learn to perform a case instead of solving a problem, and the interviewer sees it almost immediately. I spent 15+ years in strategy consulting, over a decade of it at BCG, and ran 200+ case and fit interviews, so I know what makes an interviewer lean in and what makes them stop listening. I also coached 50+ consultants through performance turnarounds, promotions, and admission to their target MBA programs, and I currently interview MBA candidates for London Business School. My cases are my own, built from real BCG projects and real interviews. If you are a senior hire targeting a specific industry, I will design cases around that. If there is one area where you keep losing ground, market sizing, profitability, M&A, we go deeper there. How it works: 1. I review your CV before we start, and we align on your goals and timeline 2. Targeted work on case, fit, or both, depending on what will move your offer odds most 3. Direct, senior-level feedback at the end of every session, with concrete next steps 4. An open channel between sessions for questions and quick sanity checks I coach in English, Spanish, and Italian, and take a small number of candidates at a time, so you get my full attention rather than a slot on a conveyor belt.

Federico has helped clients get into these companies:

I help candidates prepare for consulting interviews through a fully tailored, senior-level approach, without generic frameworks or one-size-fits-all methodologies. Before becoming a Coach I was a Partner at BCG, where I spent 12+ years, during which I conducted 200+ case and fit interviews for candidates at all levels, from new joiners to experienced hires. I also coached 20+ consultants across multiple stages of their careers, helping them turn around performance, secure their next promotion, or gain admission to their target MBA programs. Before joining BCG, I worked for 2 years at Oliver Wyman. I also sit on the admissions committee at London Business School and interview MBA candidates. What you get with me is direct access to how a BCG Partner actually thinks, evaluates, and decides. I start every engagement with an honest assessment of where you stand, identify the specific gaps between you and offer-ready, and build the prep around closing exactly those. Not sure yet?

Why do I coach?

Developing people is the part of consulting I enjoyed most and never stopped doing. On every case there was someone figuring something out: an analyst who could run the numbers but froze in front of the client, a consultant deciding whether to push for promotion or leave, a candidate across the table from me in an interview room. Those conversations were the ones I looked forward to, more than the work itself some weeks. Over 15 years it became the thread running through everything, and it is why I still do this now that I am no longer in consulting. The interview room is where I saw that help matter most, and where I saw the least of it. The rejections that stayed with me were strong candidates, clearly capable of the job, who lost the offer on something fixable. Nobody ever tells them what it was. The feedback from the firm is a sentence long, if it comes at all. That is the gap I coach in: the honest assessment you would never otherwise hear, from someone who has been the one making the call.
